Phase One (2006) will explore "What science knowledge is necessary for new graduates, with particular attention to Maori, if they are to be competent midwives and nurses? Phase Two (2007/2008) will involve developing piloting and evaluating an intervention in the science modules taught in Applied Health Programmes at a representative Tertiary Education Institution providing both Bachelors of Midwifery and Nursing.
